Mark Cook has been preaching a kind of low-tech, election-doubting gospel in political battlegrounds across the country.

Cook is part of an election conspiracy movement that's been growing since 2020 and claims that voting machines can be hacked and manipulated.

Last year , in deep-red Gillespie County in Texas , Cook convinced Republicans who run their own primaries to join the small minority that hand count votes.
